I´ve been organist at Winter Park Presbyterian for almost 5 years, and Dana was a musical, lovely, and quite organized person! She was so wonderful to me and my family! We will all miss her!

Nana Dana was a wonderful light in the world with an appreciation for music that was unmatched. I will miss her dearly, but know her memory is alive each time I across a hymn she held dear.
